From the Battlefield to the Boardroom

- Coaching Leaders to Lead Boldly and Perform Exceptionally

Maurice (Mo) Civers-Davis

Leadership & Performance Coach | Veteran | Servant Leader

“I believe bold leadership isn’t optional -it’s essential.”

I am a U.S. Air Force Veteran with a distinguished 20-year civilian career with the Department of the Navy. Leading initiatives at the highest levels of government, I took away a key insight:

Success in a complex, high-stakes environment demands more than expertise -it demands clarity, courage and consistent execution.

Today, I coach mission-driven leaders, teams, and organizations to navigate complexity, unlock bold potential, and perform at the highest level - without burning out or selling out.

A Lifetime of Leadership, Service, and Bold Moves

I’ve spent my career leading and building bridges - across organizations, cultures, and communities. From combat zones to conference rooms, my leadership journey includes:

  • 20 years of military service and federal leadership

  • Deputy Director for the Department of Navy’s HBCU/MI Program Office at Office of Naval Research (ONR)

  • Certified Leadership and Performance Coach (Brown University/ ACT Partnership)

  • Champion for underserved, under-resourced communities

I coach bold thinkers ready to make bigger moves.

I work with:

  • Mid-career and senior leaders ready to break through the noise

  • High-performing teams in government, defense, and mission-driven sectors

  • Faculty, students, and organizations navigating Department of Defense opportunities

My clients aren’t just looking for motivation -they’re looking for momentum, strategy, and sustainable results.

Leadership isn’t about titles - it’s about impact.

I’m passionate about helping leaders see themselves fully, step into their boldest potential, and lead movements that matter. Whether you’re shifting careers, scaling teams, or steering missions, I’m here to help you move with courage, clarity, and precision.
